Title: Mining Near Salt Water Post by: Steamy27 on August 08, 2018, 04:16:24 AM Does anyone have experience mining near the ocean? Debating on setting up shop practically on the coast and wondering if anyone mines/has experience in a similar environment..
My concerns are pretty straightforward.. Salt can't be good for machines, wires and infrastructure over time. Can anyone think of a way to mitigate this salty environment?

If you are close enough for salt to be an issue you are probably going to run into trouble as it will start to corrode everything. Maybe reach out to OP and see if they found a work around.

You have to dehumidify the air. Without moisture the salt has no effect on metals whereas moisture even without salt content leads to corrosion, adding salt to the mix just speeds it up.

Will post an update if I hear anything back. Thanks guys! |
